What is Beeswax Capping?
This wax layer, used by bees to seal honey in honeycomb cells, serves as a protective barrier, preserving the honey and allowing it to mature properly by maintaining the right moisture level. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and bee enzymes, it is much more than just a protective cover—it is a potent health-boosting substance.
The natural components in this wax have been found to contain antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, making it an excellent tool for supporting a strong immune system. When consumed in its raw form, this natural product provides multiple health benefits that extend beyond its immune-boosting effects.
